Worshops for Potters and Clay Artists

  • Cylinder Bootcamp

    Experience Level: MUST KNOW BASIC STEPS OF THROWING A POT! (You don’t have to be good at those steps.) This is not a “from scratch” class! We will be timing and challenging ourselves.

    The cylinder is the basic skill for most forms we create. We are often too quick to jump ahead without teaching our body and brain how to make the perfect cylinder. Sign up for this cylinder intensive. Attempt to throw 8 to 10 PERFECT cylinders…(yeah right).

    You will get to keep 4 cylinders. Subsequent pots would be 6 cents/cubic inch for members or 10-18 cents/ cubic inch for non members, (depending on which glaze you use.)

    $80 per artist- Members receive a $20 discount.

  • Raku

    Experience Level- Must create pieces to be bisqued prior to the workshop, using purchased raku clay

    Its back! Raku at MUD. Hopefully this revival will last! Join Raku Artist Brett Thomas in an outdoor creative treat. Each artist will be able to glaze and fire 5 pieces at our Madison Mud Location! Pieces should be no bigger than 12” high and 8” wide

    Limit 15 artists. (Pizza included, but not made in the kiln!) Pots must be created with Raku clay which can be bought at the studio or purchased at Ceramic Supply. Pieces must be bisqued beforehand, so you would need to make your projects no later than two weeks ahead and leave a note on them that says (RAKU).Glazes will be provided. (No firing fees.)

    $175 per artist (no member discount) Must also purchase raku clay.
